The purpose of Art
is to connect people
like unplugged
scattered wires.
the artist
is neglected
until
they create something
that matters
left alone
because they prefer it that way
unwilling
to join the status quo.
they are always outsiders
used to the outside
to the cold looks
and tormented souls
who express their lack of trust
with hollow laughter.
the test of the artist
it to become an insider
for a moment
to be accepted
because of their art
and then inevitably, rejected
by creating something controversial.
don’t give the people what they want
but what they need
Show them something
they have never seen before
that is the artist
the outcast
the savior
the true creator
loved
and then hated
mostly, misunderstood.
the artist does their own art
to save their own ass
risking rejection
is small worry
compared to the fear
of never doing it.
